On Monday, the Westfield City Council reviewed updates on a couple of big projects, which include an entertainment center and a Portillo’s restaurant. The council also passed a resolution supporting Indiana’s legislative action (House Bill 1070) on distracted driving.

Passed unanimously. Westfield is getting an entertainment center. The entertainment center will encompass the relocation of Laser Flash from Carmel, an electronic go-kart track and other fun activities that will be the first phase of the project.
Once fully funded, the second phase will be the Observatory, but will have to come back for approval. A huge project for our community.
Portillo’s
A public hearing on the Portillo’s restaurant coming to Westfield will take place on March 2. (Rendering provided)
Not much discussion tonight being that it was an introduction, but got my mouth watering nonetheless. We are lucky for Portillo’s to choose us as their second location in Hamilton County as it is an attraction unto itself. It would be located on the northwest corner of State Road 32 and Wheeler Road I look forward to being part of this project in APC.
- Public Hearing: March 2
- APC Recommendation: April 6
- City Council Adoption: April 13
Distracted Driving Resolution
Passed unanimously. I can also personally relate to this potential new law as last year I was in a distracted driving accident. A kid on his phone totaled my SUV. It could have been much worse for me, but for others that is reality and loved ones are lost. Heck, driving home tonight someone blew through a stop sign right in front of me. STAY. OFF. YOUR. PHONES.
